I couldn’t help but think that every steep and downhill step I was taking would be a harder, steeper uphill consequence.

Bomod-ok Falls

Rains, cold winds, slippery stones. They didn’t stand a chance. It was all worth it.

SAGADA or BUST!

Sagada is one of the most special places for me. And yet, I have never photographed it the way I want to. There’s this vision in my head that I just can’t seem to achieve. And so I just tell myself maybe when I return, it will come to me. Until then, here’s what I managed.

Fog Lights

Morning Star

Estribo

Home Court

Spindle

Dalawa

Sagada Weaving

Haloblak

We were in Kalinga for less than a day and I had to conduct a seminar within that short 22 hours. Plus sleep and a whole lot of hours spent staring at rain.

These are the only “decent” ones I got.  I shall return to Kalinga.

I brought my film SLR with me today and I was just out of it. I didn’t shoot a single frame.

So here are some more shots taken while strolling around Baguio City’s most dense artery, Session Road.

And so I’m back in the fiery pits of Manila though today wasn’t that hot thanks to the clouds.

Here are my feeble attempts at street photography, shot Friday afternoon at Session Road with my Canon Rebel 2000, mated with a 70-200 2.8 and loaded with Kodak BW400CN. I’m slowly starting to develop new composition techniques, trying to “see” in black and white.

No matter how gaudy Session Road gets, I am just simply in love with it. It’s always so busy with locals and tourists moving up and down, up and down.
